The Los Angeles Rams Weekly! London Edition!

Twickenham Prepares for NFL. Same name, different game as Beckham, Giants face Rams in London. The soccer nets all over England have taken a beating through the years from players like David Beckham, "bending" shots into their fabric.

Rams embrace culture while visiting London. The Los Angeles Rams arrived in London on Monday in preparation for their upcoming matchup against the New York Giants, part of the annual NFL International Series. With nearly a full week in the city before Sunday's game at Twickenham Stadium, the team had plenty of time to become immersed in a new culture across the pond.

Fresh off recording four tackles in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions, two-time Pro Bowl selection Aaron Donald became the first NFL player to sign the guestbook at Pinewood Studios, home of the James Bond film franchise. After penning his name on a list that includes Queen Elizabeth II, Donald shared his best James Bond impression with the world.

On Tuesday, punter Johnny Hekker, running back Chase Reynolds and receiver Bradley Marquez visited Stonehenge. The prehistoric monument comprised of stones weighing up to 25 tons has long befuddled scientists, who share differing theories about its construction during a time before modern technology. The best suggestion the Rams trio could offer was that aliens were responsible for Stonehenge. Hekker even got in a quick workout trying to move one of the stones.

In search of the truth. #Stonehenge @JHekker, @ChaseReynolds34 and @BradMarquez_4 visit Stonehenge.

The Rams began practice Wednesday at England Rugby, the official facility of the national team. Quarterback Case Keenum attempted to throw spirals with a rugby ball. Cornerback Trumaine Johnson, who did not practice as he recovers from an ankle injury, posed next to the facility's logo. Receiver Brian Quick delved into another sport during a lull in practice and tried his hand at cricket.
